初级教师在建立独立的研究生涯面临的挑战。随着资金的减少以及向多学科协作科学的转变，需要新的导师模式和加强机构支持。方法杜克大学医学院从2011年开始建立了两个多学科导师计划，以促进初级教师的资助成功。这些为期四个月的计划-路径独立计划（PtIP）为美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）R申请人和K俱乐部为NIH K申请人-使用多个高级教师导师和专业赠款写作人员提供20小时的联合课程，包括一系列讲座，动手研讨会，职业发展咨询，同龄人团体和内部学习部分。2016年3月，作者分析了自项目注册以来参与者提交的所有NIH赠款的成功率。结果从2011年10月到2016年3月，该计划聘请了265名高级教师导师，145名PtIP参与者和138名K俱乐部参与者。PtIP参与者的NIH资助申请成功率为28%（61个奖项/220个决定）-比2010年杜克大学初级教师基线11%增加-K俱乐部参与者为64%（38/59）。受访者报告显着增加的感觉，支持和自我评级为每个能力后programs.Next StepsThe作者计划扩大广度的导师池和教师服务。在其他地方广泛实施类似的项目可以提高初级教师调查员的成功率、满意度和保留率。
ProblemJunior faculty face challenges in establishing independent research careers. Declining funding combined with a shift to multidisciplinary, collaborative science necessitates new mentorship models and enhanced institutional support.ApproachTwo multidisciplinary mentorship programs to promote grant success for junior faculty were established at the Duke University School of Medicine beginning in 2011. These four-month programs-the Path to Independence Program (PtIP) for National Institutes of Health (NIH) R applicants and the K Club for NIH K applicants-use multiple senior faculty mentors and professional grant-writing staff to provide a 20-hour joint curriculum comprising a series of lectures, hands-on workshops, career development counseling, peer groups, and an internal study section. In March 2016, the authors analyzed the success rate for all NIH grants submitted by participants since program enrollment. In a 2015 postprogram survey, participants rated their feelings of support and competency across six skill factors.OutcomesFrom October 2011 to March 2016, the programs engaged 265 senior faculty mentors, 145 PtIP participants, and 138 K Club participants. Success rates for NIH grant applications were 28% (61 awards/220 decisions) for PtIP participants-an increase over the 2010 Duke University junior faculty baseline of 11%-and 64% (38/59) for K Club participants. Respondents reported significantly increased feelings of support and self-ratings for each competency post program.Next StepsThe authors plan to expand the breadth of both the mentorship pool and faculty served. Broad implementation of similar programs elsewhere could bolster success, satisfaction, and retention of junior faculty investigators.
